This blog post presents an overview of QBinDiff, the Quarkslab binary diffing tool officially released today. It describes its core principles and shows how it works on binaries as well as on general graph matching problems unrelated to IT security.

This blog post is about detecting modifications between genuine and repackaged applications.

This blog post is about examining an Android security patch and understanding how it mitigates the vulnerability.

This blog post is about how to efficiently spot code mutations between distinct versions of an Android application.

On February 9, 2017, Natalie Silvanovich from Google Project Zero unrestricted access to P0's issue #983 [1], titled "Microsoft Edge: Use-after-free in TypedArray.sort", which got assigned CVE-2016-7288 and was patched as part of Microsoft security bulletin MS16-145 [2] during December 2016. In this blog post we discuss how I managed to exploit this UAF issue to obtain remote code execution on MS Edge.

On September 13th, 2016 Microsoft released security bulletin MS16-104 [1], which addresses several vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer. One of those vulnerabilities is CVE-2016-3353, a security feature bypass bug in the way .URL files are handled. This security issue does not allow for remote code execution by itself; instead, it allows attackers to bypass a security warning in attacks involving user interaction. In this blogpost we discuss the whole process, from reverse engineering the patch to building a Proof-of-Concept for this vulnerability.
